Chapter 1171 Deadline Arrives
When people focus on doing things, they always feel that time passes very quickly. Recently, Hu Zi felt this way.
Under Huan Yin's leadership, he was too focused on development, so if he hadn't looked at the calendar today, he would not have realized that the three-month development time set by Huan Yin had already passed.
Fortunately, when Hu Zi looked back on the past three months, he could always see a lot of achievements that he had never dared to think of before. In these three months, everything went very smoothly, especially Defaboluo and the forces behind him, who really brought them too many surprises.
So now, Huan Yin's side only needs to follow the plan that Defaboluo said to lead the general Shang away from Ku, and the eight-day civil strife in the west can be easily achieved. This war will have a great chance.
However, until yesterday, Hu Zi was not happy. Because although they were almost ready, they didn't know what went wrong with the foreign aid brought by Dai Tianyao. It has been so long, but they haven't arrived yet.
You know, it has been more than half a year since Dai Tianyao sent a message saying that he was about to arrive. After all, Dai Tianyao brought elite troops, and the marching speed must be very fast, so, did they encounter any trouble or accident?
What made Hu Zi even more depressed was that it would be fine if Dai Tianyao and his men did not arrive, but there was no news for more than half a year. Without them, this war could not be absolutely sure, so Huan Yin knew their importance. In the past six months, Huan Yin also asked Hu Zi where they were many times. However, Hu Zi could not answer once.
Thinking back to the time when Hu Zi swore to Huan Yin that Dai Tianyao was reliable and would arrive soon. But now, he felt that he could not raise his head in front of Huan Yin.
Fortunately, all the depression caused by Dai Tianyao was finally over as of this morning. Because just this morning, Hu Zi was worried about not being able to contact Dai Tianyao at all, and secretly cursing Dai Tianyao for not being able to do his job well and delaying Huan Yin's important event. Suddenly, a jade slip flew in from his window and landed directly on the table in front of him.
Picking up the jade slip, Hu Zi's eyes lit up immediately. This jade slip came from Dai Tianyao, and it said that Dai Tianyao was about to arrive!
"At the latest, it will be three days, and at the fastest, it will be half a day. The leading troops will arrive near the Western Eight Days!" At that time, Hu Zi excitedly read the key content on Dai Tianyao's jade slip.
Hu Zi felt that although Dai Tianyao was late, no matter what, now that March has just passed, they came at the right time. So, he thought about telling Huan Yin the good news first. At least, let Huan Yin put his mind at ease and let Huan Yin know that the battle to recover the Western Eight Days can finally start.
As for why he arrived so late and had no news, Hu Zi thought that he would ask Dai Tianyao privately after they met.
So, not long after receiving the jade slip, that is, now, Hu Zi took the jade slip and trotted to where Huan Yin was.
He ran all the way and asked the servants he met along the way, fearing that Huan Yin was not in the back hall of the Yan family where he usually stayed. Fortunately, after asking all the way, Hu Zi confirmed that Huan Yin was there. So, he became more excited and couldn't help thinking: "Without the foreign aid brought by Dai Tianyao, we really dare not fight this recovery war. The king has waited for them for too long, and he will be very happy to know this news later!"
As he thought about it, Hu Zi had already arrived near the back hall of the Yan family, walking quickly on the path, full of joy.
Finally, when they were still two or three steps away from the back hall, Hu Zi could no longer suppress his joy and excitement. So, before he even saw Huan Yin, he shouted, "Sir, there is a letter from Dai Tianyao. They will soon..."
After saying half of the sentence, Hu Zi finally arrived at the door of the back hall. So, he looked into the hall excitedly and saw Huan Yin. However, at this moment, in addition to Huan Yin, there was another person standing in the hall, a person who was wrapped in black clothes and had a mask on his head.
This person was Ying Jue, one of the most important people to ensure Huan Yin's rapid development, and now regarded as the closest partner by Huan Yin and Hu Zi. Even though, they still don't know what Ying Jue looks like. They have even become accustomed to Ying Jue wearing a mask and accustomed to respecting his existence as a "shadow".
With Ying Jue's current status, Hu Zi naturally has no need to hide Dai Tianyao's affairs from him. However, Hu Zi couldn't say the second half of his sentence in the end, as if it was stuck in his throat.
What caught Hu Zi was not the people or the things, but the atmosphere in the whole back hall.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Hu Zi just noticed that there was not even a single servant near the back hall.
In the hall, neither Huan Yin nor Ying Jue looked at Hu Zi. They stood and stared at each other for a long time. It was so long that Hu Zi felt that the air in the hall seemed to solidify, and it was so long that Hu Zi, who was not involved, felt a little uncomfortable.
Finally, Huan Yin spoke: "Do you have to leave?"
Ying Jue nodded and said: "The time we agreed on has come. I have a lover, and I want to go back to him. He has been very kind to me, and in this life, I will only take him as my master."
Two simple words of dialogue made Beard immediately realize that the Shadow Lord was leaving!
And he immediately remembered that just a year and a half ago, Ying Jue and Huan Yin agreed that within a period of one and a half years, Ying Jue would fully assist Huan Yin. It was also because of Shadow Lord's presence that even though Huan Yin had led the Yan family to develop to this point, the military was still like a fool and had no idea at all. However, now that the agreed deadline has arrived, it is time for the Shadow Lord to leave, and he really has to leave...
Without Ying Jue, Huan Yin and the Yan family would not be what they are today. If it weren't for Shadow Lord, would everything going on be so smooth?
In fact, not to mention Huan Yin, even Huzi has long recognized Ying Jue, and hopes that Ying Jue can always accompany him on the entire road to regaining the heaven!
Finally, Beard heard Huan Yin sigh heavily, and then said: "I'm used to having you for help."
Huzi was a little excited for a moment. He finally walked into the back hall and said, "Fellow Taoist Shadow Jue, do you really have the heart to leave us? Aren't we working together perfectly together? Following Lord Yan, he It allows you to achieve great things and achieve yourself!”
The Shadow Lord turned around and faced the beard with his masked face that showed no emotion. After a while, he said: "My Lord has been kind to me and saved my life. Maybe he doesn't understand it as well as you do." But without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Mr. Yan, Husband, I’m very happy to be with you, but we don’t have enough fate!”
Hu Hu fell silent, while Huan Yin let out a long sigh and said: "Only a good man knows his kindness and values his righteousness. If I keep you here again, I will be making you ungrateful. Since you are leaving today, I will send you off." How was the ride?"
Shadow Lord nodded, turned to Huzi and asked: "Huzi, Dai Tianyao and the others are coming, right?"
Beard nodded, and Shadow Lord said: "Then I can rest assured. I have arranged everything in the city. After I leave, as long as you don't make too big a move, within a month, the military will still be Keep it in the dark. One month should be enough for you. Besides, He Laowu is very enlightened, so you can have no worries."
Having said this, the Shadow Lord turned to Huan Yin again and said, "Master Yan, I wish you great achievements!"
Huan Yin nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
